What is CoDEO?

Students have the ability to choose the classes they wish to attend and perform in the opening ceremony with Ormao Student Company! Find more info HERE
When is CoDEO?
January 16 & 17, 2027
Where is CoDEO?
Pueblo Convention Center
320 Central Main Street
Pueblo, CO 81003
Parents and guardians are responsible for their own child’s hotel and lodging, or carpool accommodations. Alternatively, you are welcome to coordinate transportation or carpooling each day.
Ormao StuCo Directors will be directly involved in the chaperoning of students during the conference (Saturday & Sunday 9:00am-5:00pm) and not before or after the conference has ended. CoDEO does not provide lunch but the convention center has concessions available, there are restaurants around to walk to in groups, and students may bring their own sack lunch. Last year, Ormao provided sandwiches, a bag of chips, and an apple for students who registered for lunch ahead of time. This will be an extra cost of $15.00. This cost includes lunch for both days and is an option this year as well.
How much does CoDEO cost?
CoDEO charges a 1 time fee of $175 to attend both days of the conference. Upon your decision to attend the conference and your RSVP (due November 22), Ormao will add the $175 charge to your online portal and will be withdrawn November 22. We understand this cost can come at a busy time, so if you have concerns, please let us know.
How do I register?
Please use the link below to let Ormao know if your middle or high school student will attend the 2027 CoDEO conference by Sunday, November 22. Ormao will do the rest!
CoDEO is a wonderful opportunity to expand a student’s dance experience among peers, leaders and dance professionals and we would be most fortunate to have all students attend. We are so excited to share this opportunity with our Company students each year!
